Summary
Umamusume are born knowing one thing: to race.
They run from dawn till dusk in hopes of chasing victory, legacy, and the finish line that defines them.
A young, proud girl from Melbourne, Australia named Half Yours enters the Tracen Academy fresh after winning the Melbourne Cup to prove herself even further. Though her talent is undeniable, Tracen is a place where even champions are tested. She's guided by the quiet yet wise Oguri Cap to find one of the best trainers that has stepped foot on Tracen Academy: Ryuto Katsuta. Once among Tracen Academy’s greatest trainers, Ryuto has since abandoned the racecourse for the chaos and thrill of the World Rally Championship, believing his time in Umamusume racing to be over.
Yet in Half Yours, he sees something familiar: an undying will to win. Drawn back by her raw intensity, Ryuto returns to the racecourse not to polish her into perfection, but to forge her into something stronger. Together, they reject flawless form in favor of power, instinct and speed pushed to the limit.
At Tracen Academy where precision reigns supreme, Half Yours races a different path. One driven not by control, but by the courage to go flat out.

Summary
Turning 40 was supposed to be celebrated. It was another milestone, another decade completed. It wasn’t as revered as 30 was, but people still threw parties and highlighted their 40th birthdays. Yet Ilya wasn’t unaffected. In fact, he was the complete opposite—he dreaded this birthday.
He should be happy. He had a wonderful husband, a beautiful home, and a daughter, whom he was (terrified) excited to raise. But he wasn’t. Turning 40 wasn't a fun day—it was a reminder. A reminder that he will have spent 40 years being alive on this Earth, 28 of those existing without his beloved mother.
Irina Rozanova, who was a beautiful and kind woman, who died at 39. Irina Rozanova, whom Ilya found at 12, laying on her side, cold and still with a bottle of pills on her nightstand, the woman who never got to see her 40th year.
He knew this day was coming. He knew that one day he’d have his first year where he would be older than his mother was when she had died (if he even made it to that age). But that didn’t mean he was prepared for the feelings it would bring. And Ilya didn’t know if he could handle them.
(He couldn’t).

Summary
Ilya Rozanov gets traded from Boston to Ottawa out of the blue and not a soul knows why. On his first visit to the Centaurs arena, he meets the team equipment manager, Shane — a quiet and illusive man that captures Ilya’s interest immediately.
Shane Hollander has loved hockey since before he could walk. Unfortunately, the one thing he cared more about was living life as his authentic self. He gave up what would have been a promising career in the PWHL—the only chance in this lifetime at professional hockey—to transition. Once the initial sting had worn off, Shane took up equipment managing to keep as close to the game as he could, silently hoping that someday the NHL would be a safe space for people like him. What happens when Ilya Rozanov joins the centaurs and appears dead set on working his way into Shane’s life (and heart)?
OR - Role Model AU!

Summary
It’s the most famous cold case in hockey history. Up-and-coming Russian phenom Ilya Rozanov mysteriously vanishes the summer before his rookie season. Despite extensive police work, no trace of the young superstar is ever found.
Shane Hollander remembers Ilya Rozanov. Better than most. And now, several years retired and with two highly successful hockey biographies under his belt, he’s taking a crack at the mystery that’s haunted his own career with strings of what-ifs and memories revisited so often they’ve softened like old cotton.
Perhaps now, with the long eye of perspective between him and those memories, he can unravel the short lifetime of the man poised to become his biggest rival and best kept secret. Travelling to Russia he searches for stories and the answers they hold.
If only this damn dog that’s apparently a local cryptid would stop raiding his trash cans.
It has wandered this place for years. It knows every stream, every hill, every tree. Every pale, flat face in the place of straight lines. It does not know this face.But it remembers dark eyes and star-dots across the cheeks.
It cannot remember its own name.But it remembers him.

Summary
But friends didn't take away any of the pain that sat heavy in his chest, a different kind than any physical injury could inflict. So he kept going, kept steaming ahead, with all his usual work. He didn't pick up extra shifts, because he would have been yelled at, but he did go down to the tech lab and work on his suit. Some things had needed repairs. And he wanted to upgrade other things. Kept him busy. Kept him out of his head. That and Beef.
Robert kept his head down, focused on one foot in front of the other. Why? Because if he didn't, he'd fall apart. At least, someone started to pick up his wayward pieces on the way.

Summary
He gets bottled water for them both from the fridge, watching the kid. Didn’t dry his hair properly after the shower, didn’t even try, and it’s probably made the inside of his hat wet. Kids going to make himself sick. He watches as Shane meanders around his lounge, reading book spines, looking at the pictures. Ilya likes his apartment, but he wonders what it looks like through Shane’s eyes. He wonders vaguely if Shane likes it.
Ilya just leans against the kitchen counter, waiting.
The kid stops in frontthat picture, his head tilted as he studies it. Frowns at the Boston team. Frowns at the team posing on the ice, the cup front and center. Sees it on the kids face when he turns, a look of dawning comprehension on his face, “Ilya. Ilya Rozanov?”
Ilya lets it happen, just nods, pretends like that other life was nothing to do with him.
“I...I’ve seen you play. Used to go to games sometimes, with my Mom, when I was a kid. She wanted me to be a hockey player, when I was young,” Shane shrugs, “wasn’t for me though too...aggressive.”
Ilya raises an eyebrow, gesturing with his water, “and you so small. You would get killed.”

Summary
"Papa just needs to give Daddy a bandaid. He has a small ouchie."
"Ouchie?"
"Just a little, itty bitty one." Or maybe his brain was hemorrhaging, but Ilya tried hard to shove that thought down.
Mila frowned. "I wanna give Daddy a bandaid."
"This is a special bandaid only Papa can give," Ilya said, thinking rapidly and coming up with very little. "You can give him a special Mila-only bandaid when we see him later. Okay?"
Mila nodded slowly. She swallowed her fruit snacks and looked at Ilya in the mirror. "You have to ‘member to kiss his ouchie, Papa."
Ilya reached his hand back between the seats and held it there until her small fingers wrapped around his.
"I will kiss Daddy's ouchie."
Or,
Shane gets injured during practice. It is, to put it mildly, a lot for his very attached husband and children to handle.
